Potato Soup Chowder

Potato, Ham & Chicken Creamy Soup

Another day of quick & enjoyable cooking time, it was raining all day, quite cold. So I felt having the hot soup, and this is so easy to throw in extra leftover veggies from my other meals :P  like  celery, carrots, onion & some chicken.

Shall I start my recipes !

I actualy had this soup for all days

Prepare time : 15 mins            Cook Time : 25 Mins          Serving : 6-8

Ingredients :

{for veggies} can be more or less each / up to you like:)

• 3 cups of small cubed white Potatoes
• 3/4 chopped White Onion
• 3/4 chopped Celery
• 3/4 chopped baby carrot
• 2 large sliced of Ham ( or sausages would be great too)
• 7 oz / 1 pc of Chicken breast, cut small or thin sliced
• 1/2 unsalted butter 
• 2 teaspoons of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of flour ( i use all purpose)
• Chicken stocks (1  lg. container box) 
• 3 cups water 
• Salt, Black pepper, Basil herbs, I also use some soy sauce
• 1 small can of Carnation Cream

Steps :

• Bring Olive Oil & Butter to the Large Kettle / Pot  with High Heat
• Place all chopped onion and Chicken & Ham and Soy sauce - until cooked well
• Combine carrots, potatoes, celery, simmer for 10 mins to soft
• Add slowly Flour while stirring 
• Start adding Chicken Stock and water
• Bring the higher heat until potato very soft - I keep stir & push down potato to break, then you would see the soup gets thicker.
• Spice with salt, Black pepper
• Gradually mix carnation cream and mix well 
• leave on low heat another 10 mins
• Add basil Herb the last

*some recipes, they mix with some cheese, but I don't have and really like much. This recipes is also taste like chowder and thick as creamy enough, but you can try to add , also at the last step.

Enjoy another quick brunch-lunch-dinner !
